When you’re flying for a client. When do you leave to the airport? As I understand it, travel time is billable from when I leave my house until I check into the hotel. But I don’t want to leave to the airport and charge the client for waiting for the flight but I don’t want to leave too late and miss my flight either.

I’m using my points/suite nights for personal travel and the ceiling is peeling, carpet is torn, bathroom door mildewy, reception has dropped the ball with help multiple times... cont

Hi Guys, Anyone working in snet project?

What would entice digital designers to move to SF and work onsite with the client in an embedded team in Silicon Valley?

Just want to share!

My client called and happily announced that my project is completed and well executed.

It is easy to manage time-consuming tasks and allows you to focus on more of the big picture stuff, especially if you have a reliable and committed Virtual Assistant.

So if you need someone that will help you to reduce the overwhelm for your Business, just direct message me or any referrals will do is highly appreciated.

Speak with you soon!

On a project right now where I am the only senior with 3 staff under me. There is a manager and director but the manager is very uninvolved and the Director is slammed - I’ve essentially been left to run the project. My issue is the 3 staff are completely MIA (Director and Manager knows) - they don’t respond to emails, Teams messages, meeting invites, etc. What would you do in this situation? Cold call them and tell them to work? Call their direct boss?

Do junior associates at large firms ever travel to other cities/countries? If so, under what circumstances?

Hi Fishes
my Profile:DevOps 5 YOE
I joined a company X, checked LinkedIn and it shows 50-200 employees. Its website shows it has presence in Europe, Singapore, US. But, when I joined it is company of 40 ppl(30 Engg+10 others). I got job offer from LTI Mumbai
IDC about salary, my end goal is to learn & know end-2-end tech, work in MAANG in next 1-2 year
LTI said they would put me on bench and based on skillsets assign me random project. In 'X' no laptop/work assigned, yet less clarity on project

Currently work with finance industry. Looking for SE role in Travel/hospitality industry (I.e. EXPE, Marriott, Southwest, AA, Delta, airlines).
Some questions:

3. Which Business Unit I should avoid?(known for its horrible wlb)

4. Other advice/insight?

Client: “Why aren’t I getting emails from the Chat Bot service? Didn’t you set this up? Fix it"

A partner that I work with has repeatedly called me by the wrong name. He has done it twice on a call with a client. I always correct him when it happens but it bothers me that he cannot get my name right.

Took Uber to Marriott. Took me to middle of nowhere 5 miles away from actual hotel due to incorrect address on google maps. Checked hotel website for correct address, wrong again. How many points?

Does managers( L7 ) get atleast 50% of the mentioned variable pay( 32%) in offer letter if they are tagged and completly utilized in project or it also depends on other factors? Any advise from experienced M will help :)

HYPOTHETICAL: Your divorce client found what is likely very illegal drugs in their spouse’s suitcase (they innocently borrowed the suitcase). There’s no legitimate chain of custody here for an arrest. How would you use this in the custody case? Would you simply have police pick it up from your office and fill out a report (knowing they won’t test the substance for a definitive conclusion)? The type of presumed drug exits the system within 4 days so a court ordered drug test may be useless.

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?

Hello Folks,
How is the work life balance at Optum on Devops and Cloud. My joining date is August 08.
Is it better to choose TechM over Optum.

Moving to SF Bay Area after 33 years in LA. Have built a solid NA framily and fellowship. I know I need to get connected to a new area of meetings right away, but antsy about the whole process.

Hello all, I have two offers :-

Any info on how much Cooley cull has impacted London?

Biglaw 8th year associates - what was your all in comp last year? Trying to assess whether I make close to market and special bonuses are throwing me off.

How long will a law firm hold out a lateral offer for? And what excuse could I give to extend the wait time without looking like I’m not that interested in the job? I think an offer might be coming soon from a v10 but I’m mid process for an in house role at the moment and I’m genuinely not sure which I want more.

Had my review in October, which is when our billable year ends. When do I find out if and how much of a bonus I get? What my new salary will be for 2022?

Midlevel M&A here and got my issues list pretty much completely rewritten - any tips on how to improve? Feeling dejected and like i’m not meant to be a corporate lawyer at the moment 🥲

How is hiring in litigation groups right now (NYC)? Junior looking for a change.

I sometimes wonder what goes on under the skin of those "perfect, well-dressed, good-looking, high-performing, never-stressed" usually male attorneys. I get the impression that many are hiding things.

0 billable hours this week. I’m a recent corporate lateral (2 months) and have reached out to the work coordinator and other partners/counsel but still nothing - should I be concerned?

When it’s slow, do mid levels and seniors start hoarding the work? Feel like all our juniors are looking for work, and the upper levels say they’re slow but looking at office pace someone is lying.

Does anyone have recommendations for good podcasts that provide in depth coverage of corporate M&A and/or private equity principles (e.g. equity and debt commitment letters, RWI, etc.)?

Does anybody know if WilmerHale would consider hiring a 2019 as remote/almost all remote (meaning work at home and come in when truly necessary but not just X number of days a week without a reason)?

Any insight greatly appreciated!

I’m a bit afraid of jumping on the “hot market” lateral gravy train and be the first one to be let go when things cool down. Am I overthinking this?

Anyone seeing a slow down yet? I swear I’m getting busier. Haven’t not billed 50+ hours in 6 weeks. Litigation/regulatory work but nothing easy like doc review 😫

If you don’t have 8 hours of billable time a day, do you leave as is or do you fill in the gap with non-billable work? While I am in the office, I don’t always get the billable amount since I don’t have enough work. Seems like a waste of time to enter non-billable time just to fill in the gap but I also don’t want them to think I am not there and slacking off.

What’s the norm?
